That's why she approached the car that would eventually run her over and drag her nearly 90 feet.

After a jury found Briana Benson guilty of charges including murder in the 18-year-old's death, Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Linda Scott spoke through tears as she explained how the case had affected her.

"She just wanted to get her keys back," Scott told reporters. "That's all."

A jury of nine men and three women deliberated approximately two hours Wednesday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court before reaching their verdict.

Defense attorney Patrick Mulligan had told them during closing arguments that the main issue was whether Benson, 21, intentionally drove into Hart last year on a Downtown street.

It was a tragic accident, Mulligan said.

“What we have, rather than intent, is a series of remarkably bad decisions by everyone involved that added up to a tragedy," he said.

In addition to murder, jurors found Benson guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide, felonious assault and leaving the scene of a crash. Judge Robert Winkler will sentence her on March 8. She faces 15 years to life in prison.

In closing arguments, both prosecutors and Mulligan remarked on how the incident began as a battle on social media that didn’t involve either Benson or Hart.

“Social media melodrama” on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, Scott told jurors, was turned into “violence and murder" by Benson.

That melodrama was a feud involving Benson’s sister, Myah Wright, and Hart’s friend, Anna Castano. The exact nature of the feud was not described, although Castano testified she decided to end her friendship with Wright, and Wright responded with repeated threats.

Benson and the others eventually drove away, taking with them items found on the street, including a purse containing Hart’s keys.

Five minutes later, shortly after 3 a.m., Benson drove back to the same corner. Mulligan said she was lost. But Assistant Prosectuor Anne Flanagan, who also gave a closing argument, said Benson was acting like a “prize-fighter strutting around the ring after a fight."
